This study presents gender effects in sociodemographics and psychiatric correlates of bullying in the United States. Data were drawn from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Face-to-face interviews of more than 43,000 adults were conducted during the 2001-2002 period. The present study compared 2460 respondents who ever bullied with 39,501 respondents who did not, stratified by gender. The prevalence of this behavior in the U.S. was significantly higher in men (8.5%) than in women (4.2%). Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated strong associations in both genders with numerous psychiatric and addictive disorders with significant gender effects. Following adjustments for sociodemographic characteristics and other antisocial behaviors, women who ever bullied were significantly more likely to have any lifetime externalizing, including conduct disorder, as well as any lifetime internalizing spectrum disorder compared to men with such behavior. Bullying in women may be a symptom of a broader syndrome than in men, including more prevalent impairment of impulse control and more frequent affective disorders.
本研究呈现了美国欺凌行为在社会人口统计学和精神病理学方面的性别差异。数据来源于全国酒精流行病学调查和相关条件（NESARC），这是一项具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本。在 2001-2002 年期间，对超过 43000 名成年人进行了面对面访谈。本研究比较了 2460 名曾经欺凌过他人的受访者和 39501 名没有欺凌过他人的受访者，按性别分层。这种行为在美国男性（8.5%）中的发生率明显高于女性（4.2%）。多变量逻辑回归分析表明，在两性中，与多种精神和成瘾障碍存在强烈关联，且存在显著的性别效应。在调整社会人口统计学特征和其他反社会行为后，与有这种行为的男性相比，曾经欺凌过他人的女性更有可能出现任何终生外化问题，包括品行障碍，以及任何终生内化障碍。女性的欺凌行为可能是比男性更广泛综合征的症状，包括更普遍的冲动控制障碍和更频繁的情感障碍。
